I think it's a B-type National

[Mike Adams]

It's in a road roller. I was looking at the fuel pump but the rocker covers look like thse on a National D1 I once had

[archie57]

I had a B-type out of a road roller similar to that pictured. Although it looked like a D-type, everything was a different size and I don't think anything was interchangeable with a D-type.

I used to operate one of these many years ago 

30 cwt road roller two thin barrels on the back a wider split one on the front 

made a first class job of footpaths metal seat with holes in it to let the water run out 

so your bum didn’t get wet allways did though 20 gallon water tank at the back of the seat 

gravity feed to the three barrels if someone nicked the tank cap water used to splash down your neck 

all ways remember scraping the ice off the seat in the winter before you could sit on the seat all handle starts 

piece of lighted diesel rag to the intake while you were turning the handle 

as far as I remember they were all lister engines same as the dumpers 

dont miss those days key start roller now cab fitted wireless and kettle and heater as standard
